Quick Answer

Puma trainers generally run true to size but slim - most people buy their normal UK size, while wide feet often go up half a size. For exact conversions, use Puma's official size guide on the Puma UK site with your foot's centimetre measurement, since it is the one scale every brand shares. Our tools page has the general UK, US, EU and CM charts.

Puma trainers generally run true to size in length but slim through the width - the brand's shoes are built on a narrower last than, say, New Balance. Most people buy their normal UK size and find the fit right; the exception is wider feet, where going up half a size is the common fix.

The caveat that applies across every brand: Puma is a guide, not a guarantee. Individual models fit differently, so always check model-specific notes and Puma's official size chart rather than assuming your usual size transfers perfectly.

Using Puma's official size guide

Rather than reproduce tables that may not match every model, the reliable approach is using Puma's official size guide on the Puma UK website - it lists the brand's exact UK, US, EU and CM conversions for men's, women's and kids' shoes, and it is what the brand itself uses.

The way to use it: measure your foot in centimetres, find that CM number on Puma's chart, and read across to the UK size. The CM measurement is the universal constant - it removes all the guesswork of converting between scales. Our general size guide explains the method and the tools page has general conversion charts.

How to measure your feet

  • Measure in the evening - feet swell through the day and are biggest at night.
  • Stand on paper in the socks you will actually wear.
  • Trace both feet - they differ slightly; fit to the bigger one.
  • Measure heel to longest toe in centimetres.
  • Compare that CM number against Puma's official chart.

That thirty-second measurement is the difference between guessing and knowing. It works for every brand, not just Puma - centimetres are the one scale they all share.

Puma sizing by model

General model tendencies - the Suede and Palermo are the fashion classics and fit true to size but slim. The Speedcat and driving-style shoes are the slimmest and often need sizing up for wider feet. The Caven and casual court styles run true to size with a roomier cut. The running and training lines fit snug and performance-orientated.

These are tendencies, not rules - always check the specific model's reviews and Puma's notes, since even within a line versions differ.

Puma vs Nike vs Adidas sizing

How Puma fits against the other big brands
BrandGeneral fitCommon advice
PumaTrue to size, slimNormal size; wide feet go up half
NikeRuns slightly small and narrowOften up half a size
adidasTrue to size, some narrowNormal size; check model
New BalanceTrue to size, wide optionsNormal size; widest choice

Coming to Puma from Nike, you will often wear the same or half a size smaller. Coming from adidas, sizes translate fairly directly. The bigger factor is always the specific model and your foot width - and Puma's official chart settles it.

Between sizes and returns

If you sit between sizes, the general advice is going up half a size in Puma - your toes want room, and the slim cut makes a too-small fit uncomfortable fast. Ordering two sizes and returning one is standard practice, since virtually every UK retailer stocking Puma offers free returns. Try them indoors on carpet first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Puma trainers run big or small?

Puma trainers run true to size in length but slim through the width. Most people buy their normal UK size, while wider feet often go up half a size. Check the specific model too - slim styles like the Speedcat run narrower than roomier casual lines.

What is a UK 8 in Puma sizes?

Puma uses standard UK sizing, so a UK 8 is a UK 8 - the conversion matters for US and EU listings. A UK 8 is roughly US 9 and EU 42 in men's. For exact conversions use Puma's official size chart on their UK site with your foot's centimetre measurement.

Does Puma sizing differ from Nike?

Yes - Nike tends to run slightly small and narrow, so coming from Nike you may wear the same or half a size smaller in Puma. Puma runs truer to size but still slim. Your foot's centimetre measurement compared against both brands' charts is the reliable way to be sure.

How do I measure my feet for Puma trainers?

Stand on paper in the evening in normal socks, trace both feet, and measure heel to longest toe in centimetres. Compare that CM number against Puma's official size chart on their UK website - centimetres are the one scale every brand shares.

Should I size up in Puma for wide feet?

Usually yes - Puma's slim last means wide feet often prefer half a size up, particularly on narrow models like the Speedcat. Roomier casual styles may fit true to size even on wider feet. When unsure, order two sizes and return the loser.

Do Puma junior sizes match adult sizes?

Puma junior sizes run to around UK 6 and convert using the same scale - a junior 6 and adult 7 can overlap. Puma's official size guide on their UK site has the exact kids' conversions, and the general charts on our tools page help with the rough conversion.
